During the time when Ling Muyan was calming down and repairing her heartache in Longgan Palace, Chu Xiyun always slept in the imperial study room, stayed in the imperial study room after the morning court to take care of government affairs, and of course sometimes received envoys from other countries.

However, since the breakup with Ling Muyan, Chu Xiyun has been suffering from a loss of appetite, and even found it difficult to go to bed. He lost weight quickly, and his face was full of exhaustion without concealing it.

On her last birthday, Chu Xiyun dedicated her entire day to Ling Muyan to prepare, and let Ling Muyan arrange her own time.They went to many places, and they laughed so happily...Because... Ling Muyan was by her side...

That was Chu Xiyun's long-lost happy birthday...

Today is Chu Xiyun's birthday again.

However, today's birthday was no longer taken care of by Ling Muyan, Chu Xiyun directly let Li Kui prepare it, entertain allies and courtiers, there was no expectation, let alone happiness.

After Chu Xiyun returned to the imperial study room full of exhaustion, from Li Kui's words, it suddenly dawned on her that today was her birthday.Hearing from Li Kui that Yan'er would definitely attend the banquet, Chu Xiyun's thought of leaving after a while disappeared in an instant.

Now that we can see Yan'er, then... let's go for a while...

Enduring her own heart, tormenting and looking forward to the beginning of the banquet, she has not seen Yan'er for a long, long, long time... Today, can I let her take a good look at Yan'er...

Amid Chu Xiyun's anxious anticipation, Ling Muyan's indifference and calmness, and Mu Erlin'er's anticipation, the banquet finally began.

Sitting on the highest seat, Chu Xiyun looked calm, but actually looked at the palace door anxiously, without blinking, waiting for Ling Muyan to come in.

The ministers in the palace and the envoys from other countries saw that the emperor was not happy, so they all fell silent and sat obediently.

Lin Zhong and Qing Yan did not dare to make mistakes at this moment.Although they don't know why the Ling family was massacred overnight, but... I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the emperor, although the emperor did not tell them...

The emperor and the empress may have fallen out, so they absolutely can't, and they dare not make trouble in front of the emperor.After all, the horrible memory of last time still exists in their minds...

As a result, there was no festive atmosphere in the whole hall, which made the musicians and dancers really embarrassed, and also made Li Kui, who had activated the atmosphere several times, feel helpless.

"The empress is here—"

"The eldest princess is here—"

"His Royal Highness is here—"

A shrill voice came from outside the hall.

Chu Xiyun clenched his sleeves a little excitedly, with a look of joy on his face, looking straight at the gate of the palace, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

All the officials and envoys in the hall saw that the emperor's face softened, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They all stood up and walked towards the door of the palace, saluting: "The ministers will see the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old - see His Royal Highness, see the elder your Highness--"

Ling Muyan wore a phoenix robe, painted red makeup, her face was less soft and gentle, and more fierce and indifferent, holding a child in one hand, walking towards the high place, looking at that person with extremely indifferent eyes, only looking at When looking at the child, the eyes are softened.

Those ministers and envoys who knelt down felt the fierce demeanor of the empress at this moment, and their hearts were filled with awe. Although the aura of the empress was not as frightening as the emperor, it was true for a woman to have such a demeanor. It is strange, as expected, it is the best match for the emperor!

However, Chu Xiyun on the high seat looked at the man looking at him without any fluctuations in his eyes from the beginning to the end, and his heart went cold. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him from head to toe, it was extremely cold.

But... Yan'er's complexion has improved a lot... This is so good...

Looking at Ling Muyan who was sitting below her, Chu Xiyun could only smile bitterly, and made some speeches to liven up the atmosphere, and followed those ministers and envoys to make trouble.

"Father, Father!" Lin'er excitedly ran to Chu Xiyun, with his hands behind his back, as if he was holding something.

Seeing the childish Lin'er, Chu Xiyun's eyes softened, and he hugged Lin'er on his lap to sit, looked at Lin'er dotingly, and said softly, "What's wrong with Lin'er? The emperor is here."

"Father! This is Lin'er's gift to Father!" Lin'er excitedly placed the object in Father's hand, with a big smile on his face.

Chu Xiyun looked at his hand curiously, and what fell into his eyes was a small clay figurine. He was overjoyed and relieved immediately, and said with a smile, "Lin'er is so good, Father, thank you Lin'er."

Lin'er laughed even more happily, but she was thinking of the snow rabbit that the queen mother had asked someone to bring, so she let go of her short legs and slipped away.Chu Xiyun could only helplessly look at the romping figure of his little prince, and asked the maid to follow him.

After a while, his own little princess also came to Chu Xiyun to present a gift. Because of the two children, Chu Xiyun managed to get through the banquet quickly.

The banquet was over, and those ministers and envoys all stayed in the palace.

Chu Xiyun didn't go to sleep in the imperial study, but followed Ling Muyan back to Longgan Palace.

Ling Muyan saw that the man had been following her back without making a sound, and when she arrived at Longgan Hall, she saw that the man was taking off her clothes, so she exclaimed: "What is the emperor doing!?"

"Those people are sleeping in the imperial palace today. If they sleep in the imperial study, they will be caught." Chu Xiyun dragged on the dragon robe sleepily, and replied with a sleepy expression. She was really exhausted these days. After all the tossing, she is really tired now, and she just wants to have a good rest.

Ling Muyan frowned, and silently shrank back, leaving a large space for Chu Xiyun, looking at Chu Xiyun with piercing eyes, afraid that Chu Xiyun would do something.

Seeing the man resisting her like this, Chu Xiyun was filled with bitterness in his heart, but he couldn't resist the drowsiness. When he fell down and smelled the familiar breath, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing that the man fell asleep right after lying down, Ling Muyan couldn't help but be surprised.When I probed to see the man's thin face and dark circles under his eyes, his heart ached even more.

She persuaded herself countless times that she should not soften her heart, should not have any emotions towards Chu Xiyun that she should not have, and should not let that person affect her state of mind anymore.

But...it's useless, it's useless...

She will still feel distressed, and will still have emotional fluctuations because of Chu Xiyun... because... Chu Xiyun is someone she loves deeply...

The more she felt sorry for Chu Xiyun, the more she hated herself, hated that she couldn't avenge the Ling family and her father, hated that she couldn't help but love her.

She can't, love her again...

I can't...
